Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced thinly
- 2 cloves garlic (natural), minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Chili flakes (optional), to taste
Vegetables and Wrap
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrot
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 4–6 large lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for quick, even cooking. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with minced garlic (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce (natural). Stir well to coat all pieces and let marinate for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, thinly slice the red bell pepper, shred the carrot, and chop the green onions. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves to maintain crispness.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas. Spread a spoonful of sweet chili sauce (natural) on each tortilla. Layer with lettuce leaves, cooked chicken strips, and the prepared fresh vegetables. Sprinkle chili flakes if extra heat is desired.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly to form a neat wrap. Serve immediately for optimum texture and taste, or wrap in foil for meals on the go.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken well to maximize flavor and tenderness.
- Do not overcook the chicken to keep it juicy.
- Use fresh vegetables for a satisfying crunch and contrast in texture.
- Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent tearing.
- Adjust the level of chili flakes or sweet chili sauce (natural) to suit your preferred spice level.
